Accessing the Service Processor Menus Locally
Service processor menus can be accessed by opening a virtual terminal window on the
HMC, or by attaching an ASCII terminal to serial port 1 (S1) or serial port 2 (S2). After
OK
displays in the operator panel, press any key on the keyboard to signal the service
processor.
Note: The service processor menus cannot be accessed simultaneously on a virtual
terminal window on the HMC and on an ASCII terminal. Accessing the menus on
the HMC locks out access to the ASCII terminals and vice versa.
When you gain access, the service processor prompts you for a password (if one is
set), and when verified, displays the service processor menus.
The service processor menu prompt, represented by
0>
or
1>
, indicates the serial port
to which the terminal is connected.
v
An ASCII terminal can have the following prompts:
–
0>
indicates serial port 1 (S1)
–
1>
indicates serial port 2 (S2)
v
The HMC always indicates a prompt of
0>
Accessing the Service Processor Menus Remotely
If your system has a modem connected to serial port 1 or serial port 2 and is configured
for call-in (see “Modem Configuration Menu” on page 53), the service processor menus
can be accessed remotely as follows:
1. With the system powered off, call in from a remote terminal.
2. The service processor detects ring-indicate and prompts you for a password (if one
is set). When verified, the service processor menus display remotely.
Saving and Restoring Service Processor Settings
All the settings that you make (except language) from the service processor menus can
be backed up either for recovering from a fault that may corrupt these settings, or for
replicating these settings to other servers that include a service processor.
The service aid, Save or Restore Hardware Management Policies, can be used to save
your settings after initial setup or whenever the settings must be changed for system
operation purposes.
It is strongly recommended that you use this service aid for backing up service
processor settings to protect the usefulness of the service processor and the availability
of the system. Refer to “Save or Restore Hardware Management Policies,” in
“Introduction to Tasks and Service Aids” for information about this service aid.
Menu Inactivity
The service processor exits menu mode after ten minutes of inactivity and displays a
message indicating that it has done so. Pressing any key on the virtual terminal window
causes the main menu to display.
